Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Preparing for Seclusion

"Thank you, Young Master Lin Chen, for helping me gain full control of the Xuan Yin Cold Body!"

With excitement brimming in her heart, Hua Lianxin respectfully bowed to Lin Chen.

Had it not been for Lin Chen’s assistance, she would have never been able to master the Xuan Yin Cold Body within her. She had always believed that the cold disease she contracted as a child was the issue, and thus she had tirelessly sought various methods to suppress it.

Even within the Floral Transfer Palace, Hua Lianxin’s master and the others were unaware of her body’s true condition; they only knew that her body would produce cold poison periodically. Fortunately, since Hua Lianxin’s cultivation had not yet reached its peak, the potency of the cold poison was relatively weak, allowing the members of the Floral Transfer Palace to collectively suppress it.

However, as Hua Lianxin’s cultivation grew stronger, it became more and more difficult for others to help her suppress it.

Luckily, she had now met Lin Chen, who had clarified her condition and helped her master the legendary Xuan Yin Cold Body, which was an endless delight for Hua Lianxin.

"Miss Hua is being too courteous. My help came with my own ulterior motive."

"Understood, Lianxin will certainly await Young Master Lin’s orders," Hua Lianxin said earnestly, her innermost feelings stirred.

"Then please accompany me to the Great Flame Imperial Family’s residence, and I will inform you of what needs to be done later," said Lin Chen after finishing his words, he left the Wanxing Commerce Association with the Second Soul Division and Zhao Lingxi, heading toward the residence of the Great Flame Imperial Family.

What Lin Chen needed to do now, of course, was to start preparing to refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame inside his body.

Yu Weilian’s warning upon her departure had always been on Lin Chen’s mind.

The Moon Shadow Pavilion and the Red Soul Hall would not take their failure lightly.

So even though everything appeared calm and all dangers seemed to have passed for the moment, a greater crisis was slowly approaching, and Lin Chen needed to increase his cultivation as swiftly as possible.

Regarding the refinement of the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, Lin Chen had been pondering whether it should be done by his true body or left to his Second Soul Division.

Lin Chen’s true body practiced the Primordial Transformation Art, possessed the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, and even had the most formidable Ancient Divine Body. Although his cultivation speed was somewhat slower than that of the Second Soul Division, there was no doubt that at the same level, Lin Chen’s true body’s combat prowess was far superior to the Second Soul Division’s.

The Blue Lotus Divine Flame would greatly enhance either his true body or the Second Soul Division.

However, Lin Chen was worried about one thing—if his true body tried to refine it now, even with the help of the Cold Jade Marrow and Hua Lianxin’s Xuan Yin Cold Body, the chance of successfully refining the Blue Lotus Divine Flame was not as high as that for the Second Soul Division.

Moreover, the Second Soul Division’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Melding Earth Realm. This not only increased the chances of refining the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, but once successful, the cultivation level would surge dramatically, stepping into the Heaven-reaching Realm. At that point, Lin Chen would have yet another trump card. Even if facing assassins from the Moon Shadow Pavilion or members of the Red Soul Hall, Lin Chen would possess even greater means of self-preservation.

After some thought, Lin Chen decided to let the Second Soul Division refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame.

Lin Chen did not know how long it would take to refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame, so naturally, he intended to head to the main stronghold of the Jade Cauldron Sect that had taken over Divine Sun City—the residence of the Great Flame Imperial Family.

After returning to the Great Flame Imperial Family with the two ladies, Xu Lianyu happened to have just finished organizing some treasures in the treasury. When she saw Lin Chen returning, she immediately ran towards him.

However, when she saw the two exceptionally beautiful women following Lin Chen, Xu Lianyu’s smile instantly stiffened.

"Junior Brother, weren’t you going to the Wanxing Commerce Association to collect treasures? Are these the treasures you’ve brought back? Two beautiful ladies?"

Looking at Lin Chen, Xu Lianyu was inwardly furious. Had she not been unable to defeat Lin Chen now, she would have wanted to teach him a lesson on the spot.

The women of the Jade Cauldron Sect and Jade Bird Peak were all beautiful and captivating, and the sect’s eldest sister was even publicly known as his Dao Companion, yet unexpectedly, Lin Chen seemed to have no other designs on them.

With peaches at home not to be admired, yet insisting on seeking the apricots outside, how could Xu Lianyu not be angry?

At this moment, Zhao Yijing happened to pass by and saw Lin Chen with Zhao Lingxi and Hua Lianxin, conversing with Xu Lianyu.

Zhao Yijing gave Lin Chen a cool glance, a hint of mild anger surfacing in her eyes, then turned around and walked away without saying a word.

"Junior Brother, you’re done for, the eldest sister is angry."

"Hmph, I really don’t know what you’re thinking, having the eldest sister isn’t enough for you, and you still go out every day to flirt, I’m upset too."

Xu Lianyu huffed, turning away to show her disinterest in dealing with Lin Chen.

Seeing Xu Lianyu and Zhao Yijing like this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Women are indeed very troublesome creatures.

"Junior Sister, it’s not what you think, they..."

Lin Chen was nursing a headache and just as he started to say something, Xu Lianyu immediately spun around upon hearing his voice.

"They what, go on, explain it to me."

Xu Lianyu stared at Lin Chen with wide eyes, unblinking and demanding an explanation.

At her words, Lin Chen opened his mouth, swallowed hard, but found himself at a loss for words, unable to explain himself, since he truly didn’t know how to.

Was he supposed to say that Zhao Lingxi was someone he knew from Desolate Sky City, and what about Hua Lianxin, was it to help him refine the Blue Lotus Divine Flame?

"Junior Sister, this is a bit complicated to explain, but believe me, it’s not what you think."

Lin Chen said, at a loss for words.

"Hmph, see, you can’t explain it clearly, you might as well save your words to explain to the eldest sister."

Xu Lianyu’s lips curled as she walked away, leaving Lin Chen to shake his head.

Zhao Lingxi and Hua Lianxin, witnessing this scene, looked at Lin Chen and shook their heads with a smile. Lin Chen might not realize his two senior sisters’ feelings for him, but as women, they certainly understood.

Lin Chen didn’t attend to Zhao Yijing and Xu Lianyu; instead, he led the two women inside. He first arranged for Zhao Lingxi to stay next to his own residence.

Having promised Yu Weilian to take good care of Zhao Lingxi, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t let her stray too far from him in Divine Sun City, for if she encountered any danger, he wouldn’t be able to come to her aid.

If something were to happen to Zhao Lingxi, he would have no face to see Yu Weilian.

As for Hua Lianxin, Lin Chen had her enter a secret chamber he had prepared and set up several formations outside the chamber that could withstand the attacks of a Heaven-reaching Realm Fifth Layer martial artist.

When Xu Lianyu learned of all that Lin Chen had done, she stomped her feet in frustration.

She was now beginning to wildly speculate; what exactly was Lin Chen planning to do with Hua Lianxin, such a great beauty, in the secret chamber?
